A web
site aimed at people focused on improving global health by
collaborating on innovative 'open' health information technology (HIT)
solutions. Sharing information on 'open' health IT solutions, e.g. Open
EHR, Open PHR, Open HIE, Open Standards, Open Architecture, Open
Organizations, Open Source, Open Access, Open Data, Open Medical, Open Communities, etc.
Collaboration, Open Solutions, and Innovation (COSI) are
the key management strategies organizations need to incorporate into
their corporate culture in order to compete and succeed in the 21st
century. The
adoption and application of these new management strategies is already evident within many companies in almost every industry.
Industries
and businesses throughout the world
are being revolutionized through the application of these three unique
and powerful
management strategies. When combined, these COSI strategies create a
robust model for
accelerating change, achieving significant operational efficiencies, and
improving the quality of products and services by organizations in the U.S.
and other countries.
Collaborative development efforts to create innovative, open source health IT software tools and applications are well underway. These innovative 'open' health solutions are being released under one or more open source license arrangements that allow public and private health care institutions to acquire and use these tools at little or no cost. This has tremendous potential consequences for organizations around the world that face funding challenges.
